SHU p as A CROP
A few years ajo Clem son went up
into Virjtaia, in the sheep country,
and got a good county agent. H. M
Jamison, to come down here as
sheep specialist.
We once grew a lot of sheep, a
quarter of a million back in the
-Eighties. But for various reasons,
they dwindled in our time to prac
tically nothing. Then came the
woolen mills. And the need for new
crops to help with cotton's dwind
ling economy. So our state, along
with the others in this region, start
ed the slow comeback with sheep.
And this comeback must of ne
cessity be rather slow, occording to
Jamison, if it is to succeed. For
you just can’t put out a lot of sheep
and think you have sheep growers.
Some areas tried that to their sor
row, I understand. There’s a lot to
learn.
At Clemson Pontiac, and at the
Wellman plant al Johnsonville sci
ence is working on sheep breeding
and management for this area.
Progress is being made and we
now have 14,000 sheep where a few
years ago hardly any. Sheep's place
on the farm is as a supplement to
other things, crops and livestock,
Jamison tells me You will never
see a sheep farm in this part of
the country unless it is a specialty
of Pine breeding stock, he says But
you will see farms on which sheep
are a good supplementary money
crop to other things.
We have an active sheep associa
tion. organised in 1S&S It has SO

‘ How about that oat straw you
burned from the fields after har
vest last may' That would have
been welcomed by those hungry
cattle
And how about the clippings from
the pastures at their flush summer
period! They needed this mowing
to keep 'em lush and tender. And
you needed the clippings for hay
and silage.
Our good forage season is right
ahead. Let’s learn from last wihter
and not be caught again.

ONIONS IN DILLON
County Agent Benton tells me
they are planting 50 acres of onions
in Dillon. In this changing agricul
ture, we are trying many things.
Out of them will likely come some
permanent crops.

BOYS ARE THAT WAY
The quilting party, famed in song
and story! I remember them well,
as a kid. in the Stone Hills of the
Dutch Fork. Quilts were the only
cover we had, and they were hand
ed down from one generation to the
next, as long as they would last.
Last week I told you of saving,
cutting, and piecing the patches
Of making the lining and cotton
batts that went into the quilt, as it
was all arranged on the quilting
frames
Now the quilting party'
The unfinished quilt was basted
to long slats that were bolted at the
corner* and held the outstretched
quilt in place These were support
ed at each corner by a chair hark
That held it jost high enough for
the ladies to sit around it. reach la.
and do the quilting with mmbir
other useful heirloom was ready to
be admired by others and used by
(hoot who rested beneath that roof
And the winds of winter could blow
But so long at there was plenty of
good warm cover for the beds,
what did we care W It did whistle
through the cracks in floor or wall
a bit. For all was serene and well
with us there 8n a feather bed un
der a great layer of quilts.
